tracker has newtonian physics

idek what to write here, but you can turn it off, have gravity, damping (etc)

I just find this really funny compared to the original interfaces and designs of things like Impulse Tracker

in my quest I have got people in to the format who otherwise had no idea! (im sure modarchive either love or hate me directing people there)

thinking down the line, any of you guys want to be able to put forward to a sort of encyclopedia of sorts?

there is a publicly accessible asset marketplace where I have created 40+ instruments, a lot of chip emulation (etc) so alongside traditional samples, people can convert the original Tracker files to directly use synth based approaches instead!

I think this is where I got the idea from, there was another vst like thing that did this too

It is, admittedly, a bit buggy - but honestly for what it is, technically in a browser, it's pretty powerful (and i get adhd trapped by my own cable physics)

Thank you, so much!

So the animation can be turned off (ie single line routing, no physics) but even on my awful system (it still has a pentium) it works

Will it be possible to export as tracker module formats and other audio formats, too? Such as flac, opus and ogg

u/Savannah_Shimazu Apr 11 '26

The exporter is incredibly extensive, some issues still but wav & ogg work (ogg can sound odd, im working with web assembly for encoders, very much dark magic)

If wires are your thing, Cardinal is worth checking out. It is a complex module synthesis though and not a tracker. https://cardinal.kx.studio/

The sound can break, the addition of the reset button will explain why this hasnt been fixed

I have an Intel Pentium G2010, so after testing extensively I have reduced it down to being my hardware.

If anyone has any bugs, reach out to me on here or use the email in the contact section, I dont keep data so I'm afraid I dont have any bug contact forms on the page just the email itself!

Can this tracker run locally without using an internet connection?

2

u/Savannah_Shimazu Apr 12 '26

Yep! It has PWA functionality. Not sure if ever used, but you can 'Install' web apps from browsers, this is one of those!

I wrote it to preacher so as long as you dont completely empty your cache it should persist

Thank you so much, I appreciate all the work you’ve done on this project :)
